A historic plaque commemorates its significance, while the home's archives are preserved at the hotel.

Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant spaces for entertaining, while the dine-in kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, abundant storage, and convenient access to the garage. The spacious family room overlooks the resort-style pool and beautifully landscaped grounds, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. Two charming half baths add convenience to the main level. Upstairs, the inviting primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with two closets, additional storage, and a luxurious ensuite featuring a walk-in shower and soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with tub/shower combination, while another bedroom enjoys access to a spacious hall bath. A two-car garage and additional parking add everyday convenience. Ideally located near two private golf clubs, local restaurants, boutique shopping, and beautiful Gulf beaches, this is a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Belleair history. Become the next steward of this extraordinary home and continue its remarkable legacy for generations to come.
